Although there is a reasonable knowledge of the kinases required for MYC modifications, the counteracting phosphatases have been understudied.

Using RNA interference and degron-mediated degradation of CDCA2, we have demonstrated that the PP1 subunit is required for cMYC and MYCN stabilization and viability of triple-negative breast cancer, neuroblastoma and colon cancer cells. Proximity ligation assays indicate that both cMYC and MYCN are in close proximity to CDCA2 in vivo.

Here, we characterize two new loricate strains, BEAP0094 and BEAP0360, that display unexpected morphological features when compared to their closest genetic relatives. The ribosomal gene sequence of BEAP0094 closely matched Pseudostephanoeca paucicostata, but its lorica lacked the characteristic anterior ring found in all Stephanoeca species. Instead, its lorica resembled the Acanthocorbis genus, raising the possibility of the existence of either multiple lorica morphologies in closely related species or multiple species sharing the same ribosomal 18S gene. In contrast, BEAP0360 presented a morphological match to Stephanoeca cauliculata, but its sequence did not, suggesting that different species could share the same lorica architecture. BEAP0360, here described as Cepoeca plumata (n. gen. n. sp.), possesses a key phylogenetic placement, potentially as the earliest-branching nudiform loricate.

Moreover, BCL-2 overexpression impaired mitochondrial Ca²+ uptake following IP3R-mediated Ca²+ release, irrespective of the IP3R isoform present. To investigate the effects on single IP3R-channel activity, we performed Ca²+-puff analysis using TIRF microscopy in response to UV-flash photolysis of caged IP3. BCL-2 overexpression reduced the number of Ca²+ puffs across all IP3R isoforms without affecting the amplitude or duration of individual puffs.
